Matthew Johnson, Associate Professor of History at Texas Tech University and is the author of the award-winning Undermining Racial Justice: How One University Embraced Inclusion and Inequality.
A detailed case study of the history of the University’s approach to racial justice: how administrators have reacted to activism for racial justice and how the policies they crafted, good intentions aside, consistently sacrificed racial equality to other University values. In this talk, Johnson focuses on one section of his book: the evolution of U-M’s affirmative action policies.
